    A Deep Dive into: Fear [pt.13] – Why be afraid of saying hey to an unknown human? (The Philosophy of: The School of Life)

    October 31, 2018 - By Dave

    Since it’s halloween, this is another of a Deep Dive into the emotion that dictates most, if not all, our decisions –fear. What do you have to lose by saying hi to someone you find interesting? What possible destruction to our life that could be done to us just by opening our mouths and forcing words out them in order…

    The joy of: Saying ‘Fuck it’, acting like a little shit and the rush of blood to the head. (& The Philosophy of Jamie T’s Sticks n’ Stones)

    October 20, 2018 - By Dave

    Life can be a shit ton when you don’t overthink it, and just sometimes say fuck it, and whatever you’re nervous to say to someone you care about, whatever you’re scared of doing or whatever you’re worrying you’ll regret if you don’t or do it. Like a kid, or a little shit would do… Just say fuck it and do…

  • On Connection - On Fear - On Vulnerability

    The thing that truly connects us to one another is our vulnerability, not our strengths.

    September 8, 2018 - By Dave

    The times when we most connect to someone else, on a deep level, might not be when they show us how strong and invincible they are; it might be when they show us vulnerable they are. An when they show you their vulnerability that’s not out of a out a gloating, that makes you feel superior and stronger than them,…

  • On Fear - On Questions

    What are you scared of? Why?

    June 26, 2018 - By Dave

    I’m in California or Mexico right now (probably), so for a few weeks, this is a collection of all my favourite questions I’ve thought of in the last year and bit since I started this blog. You have the answers to everything you want to know (about the world or about yourself) inside of you, all it takes is to ask yourself the right question. And…

  • On Fear - On the philosophy of...

    Approaching new people hoping to make a connection or friendship (or maybe even more) and what’s Monty Python got to do with it (inspired by my mate Matt.)

    May 29, 2018 - By Dave

    If you’re afraid to approach someone you want to talk to, meet, are interested in, or want to make a connection with, well, you don’t have that right now. So what’s the risk? You currently don’t have a friendship, relationship, their phone number or a connection to them, so if you don’t get any of those things, well you didn’t…

    A Deep Dive into Fear [pt.12] – The Fear of awkwardness/starting a conversation (& the potential benefit/risk of trying to make a connection with someone new)

    May 27, 2018 - By Dave

    This is a deep dive into the emotion that possibly decides more things in our life (or our whole life?): Fear. ——- Are you ever in a situation where you want to approach someone and talk to them, but then chicken out because…. well… why exactly? Our fear of approaching people we don’t know (and in particular if they’re not interested…

    ‘A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us’ – The (literary) philosophy of: Franz Kafka

    May 3, 2018 - By Dave

    The task of literature is to reconnect us with feelings that otherwise might be unbearable to study, but which desperately need our attention. – Franz Kafka All the toughest things, the things that make you most anxious, or scared must be acknowledged and delved into to truly free yourself of them. Ignoring or deluding yourself of the things that bring…

  • On death - On Fear - On Honesty

    Did The Onion nail it here? Or are they way off? If they have nailed this, it could be their most important nailed article yet.

    May 1, 2018 - By Dave

    If the Onion have nailed this one, it could be the most important article they have, since it doesn’t involve just a major life decision, a major life fear, regret and a decision that involves a whole life (or at least a massive chunk of it) of living your life in a way you don’t honestly want to. Why? Out of fear of…

  • On Choice - On Fear

    Are you playing musical chairs?

    April 18, 2018 - By Dave

    (This analogy I think I got from The Secret Life of Us) Finding someone before your looks go, before a lot of people have already paired up, before you go bald, before it’s too late to have kids is like musical chairs (with often as disastrous results as the one in the pic). Once the music stops (and you’re ugly/everyone’s…

    How likely is it that the things you fear will actually eventuate?

    April 11, 2018 - By Dave

    Think about your past… How many things in it happened as expected? How predictable has your life been based on how you thought it would turn out? So how likely is it that the thing (or things) you fear will happen as you expect them?
